He called them ‘criminal illegal aliens’
“Today I’m also signing an executive order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay,” Trump said. “Most people don’t even know about it.”
But Trump didn’t sign the executive order… YET
Turns out that he only signed a presidential memorandum on the subject, not an executive order.
And it’s all well-prepared…
He added that Guantanamo has 30,000 beds to keep detainees who are a threat to the American people and that placing them there will guarantee that they won’t return.
The history behind Guantanamo Bay
The US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, already has a migrant facility separate from the high-security US prison for foreign terrorism suspects, which has been utilized on occasion for decades, including to imprison Haitians and Cubans arrested at sea.
The idea was initially suggested by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
In an interview with Fox News, Noem referred to the Guantanamo Bay prison camp as an “asset” and stated that while the government was “evaluating” the idea, President Donald Trump had the final say.
Spotted the proposal on his favorite morning show, Trump made a decision
The Trump-Fox feedback loop was demonstrated in real time when the president said that he would really utilize the notorious prison camp to accommodate 30,000 migrants, just hours after the proposal was first proposed on his favorite morning show.
A prison known for previously housing 9/11 terror suspects
After his previous order of deporting illegal immigrants, The White House shared a thread on X: “969 TOTAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION ARRESTS by ICE were recorded yesterday, January 27, 2025.”
The post features 9 distinct illegal immigrants who have been found guilty of heinous crimes, including child rape or who are suspected of having ties to terrorist groups and gangs.
The Cuban President condemned Trump’s order
President Miguel Diaz-Canel of Cuba referred to Trump’s decision to detain 30,000 migrants in Guantanamo as an “act of brutality.”
He wrote in a translated post on X: “In an act of brutality, the new US government announces the imprisonment at the Guantanamo Naval Base, located in illegally occupied territory [Cuba], of thousands of migrants that it forcibly expels, and will place them next to the well-known prisons of torture and illegal detention.”
Ongoing law enforcement raids across the country followed Trump’s statement
The 47th president pledged during his 2024 campaign to stop illegal immigration, which had soared throughout the Biden administration.
Trump announced ten executive orders to reform U.S. immigration law and policy on the first day of his second term. He then claimed to be honoring his word less than a week after taking office again.
